President of Russia Vladimir Putin: Friends,

Welcome to the final stage of the 5^th International Olympiad on Financial Security.

This competition was held for the first time in 2021, and immediately won recognition from the expert community, specialists, and educators, attracting great interest from young people.

It is good to see that the Olympiad has become part of the state’s and society’s systemwide and multifaceted efforts to expand access to modern knowledge and to unlock the creative potential and talents of the younger generation, who are committed to professional achievements and creative work.

Today, we can confidently state that this project has proved a success. Every year, it grows in both geographical scope and diversity of representation, establishing itself as a key event within the broader International Movement on Financial Security.

This year’s Olympiad brought together around 600 schoolchildren and students from the CIS, BRICS, the SCO, and many other countries in Krasnoyarsk, hosted by Siberian Federal University.

The Olympiad has traditionally focused on addressing contemporary challenges and threats, applying advanced technologies to prevent financial crimes, and raising citizens’ awareness and legal literacy.

I am confident that the programme of the current Olympiad –competitions, roundtable discussions, and workshops – will contribute to addressing these challenges. The opportunity to meet and engage with distinguished professionals will undoubtedly be a valuable and memorable experience for all participants.

Good luck, and all the best.
